Palacio Legislativo de Donceles, Legislative palace in Centro Histórico, Mexico City, Mexico.

The Palacio Legislativo de Donceles features neoclassical architecture with ornate stone carvings, grand columns, and symmetrical proportions throughout its exterior and interior spaces.

The palace witnessed Porfirio Díaz's resignation in 1911 and hosted the approval of significant decrees, including the 1938 oil expropriation under President Lázaro Cárdenas.

The building contains the Legislative Museum and Legislative Research Institute, displaying documents and artifacts that document Mexico's parliamentary evolution through different periods.
